ember's promise

embers with the slightest breath
awaken in the night
the little bits of tinder
giving rise to cherry light
husband wife or lover
adding fuel to nascent blaze
hungers for the roaring flame
to burst from smokey haze

but slow

anticipation is as much
as arching moan in passion

gently
oh so gently

share the quiet ember's breath
linger in the teasing promise
of that ruby glow
